Ngorongoro & Singita Serengeti Adventures

On arrival at the Kilimanjaro International Airport, you’ll be greeted by a Vencha representative and transferred to the domestic terminal for your flight to the Lake Manyara Airstrip. Here you’ll be met by another representative for the short but scenic drive to the legendary Gibbs Farm Lodge where you’ll spend your first night.   

NB: Same-day domestic flight transfers are only available for international flights arriving at Kilimanjaro International Airport before 1 pm. Later arrivals will require you to overnight in Arusha before a connecting flight the next morning or you can transfer to the Gibbs Farm Lodge on the same day by vehicle (four hours drive). Vencha Travel is happy to assist in making the arrangements of your choice.   

Begin the day with a filling breakfast at Gibbs Farm Lodge before embarking on a spectacular game drive into the wildlife-filled Ngorongoro Crater. Spot herds of zebra, wallowing hippos, lions and giraffes as you experience the incredible natural beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage-listed landscape. After a picnic out in the wilds and a full day's adventure, you’ll return to Gibbs Farm Lodge in time for dinner. 

After a delicious breakfast at Gibbs Farm Lodge, you’ll be transferred to the Lake Manyara Airstrip for your short flight to the Grumeti Reserve where you’ll be staying at the luxurious Singita Sasakwa Lodge. Enjoy a short game drive and picnic lunch before settling into your beautifully appointed suite while soaking up the old-world elegance of Sasakwa Lodge. 

Relax with a morning at your leisure and the opportunity to catch up on some sleep, then spend the day enjoying the amenities and services of Sasakwa Lodge. Get a taste of the local culture during an optional community visit or just relax with a good book beside the pool.    

In the late afternoon, you’ll depart on a game drive to enjoy the magical sunset light, accompanied by a classic sundowner in the bush. Return to the lodge in time for a gourmet dinner and a night of stargazing, far from the light pollution of the cities. 

Wake before sunrise for an early morning game drive to see the wildlife at its most active. Breakfast will be served out in the bush, with the calls of the wild ringing around you, before returning to the lodge in time for lunch and an afternoon to spend as you wish.
